A great way to start an early morning in Jaipur, exploring the local flower market and vegetable market and getting a feel for local life. The chai and street snacks were excellent. Our guide, Harshit, was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Itinerary
This experience starts from Hawa Mahal (Palace of winds). It is one of the most photogenic building in India. An Early morning is the best time of the day for Hawa Mahal photography as there is no traffic and it is not crowded.
From Hawa Mahal we take you to the oldest wholesale flower marker of Jaipur by walk where all the farmers come from small villages to sell the flowers & bouquet early in the morning. We walk pass by beautiful heritage building, temples & gates. We will also stop by a local tea stall and enjoy the delicious Indian Masala chai. This experience is great for those who would like to explore the real life of local people, photography, videography and real India over touristy activities.
Visit Jaipur's famous Govind Dev ji temple after the flower market.

Harshit was a wonderful guide and made me feel very comfortable as I was on my own. Walking through the markets in the early morning is such a great way to see the city come alive. I loved it! Harshit also knows the best chai stall and special Rhajistani snacks
The early morning tour to visit the singing at a temple, the vegatable and flower market is one on the highlights of our 15 days in India. Harshit was a very kind and smiling guide. Do not miss this tour really.
Our tour guide, Harshit, was very friendly, kind and took good care of us during our 2 hour tour of the flower and vegetable market. We also got to see other interesting landmarks along the way and Harshit provided lots of interesting information and answered all our questions, including helping with local coffee spots and restaurant recommendations :) We would happily recommend Harshit for any future tour in Jaipur! :)
Our tour guide shared so much about the flowers and history, making the whole thing super interesting. A must-try for flower lovers!
A lovely experience of daily life in Jaipur! Witnessing the array of colour and devotion in the morning hours was a joy. Monty is a friendly, fun, and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend!
This tour was such a great way to experience some of the unique things that Jaipur have to offer. From the moment we met Monty we knew we were in capable hands and felt completely at ease to let go and enjoy all the things that Jaipur has to offer. Book it, You won’t be disappointed, it is a delight for all your senses
The tour we took was incredible. We started the tour at the Hawa Mahal, a spectacular and historic architectural project. A must-see in Jaipur. We then went to the flower market, which is incredible both for the beauty and smell of the flowers on display and for the feeling of being part of the daily life of the locals. We also visited an important Hindu temple in Jaipur. At the temple we were able to observe the celebrations they hold every day and it was very interesting and enriching. Throughout the tour, our guide was helpful and explained all the curiosities and particularities of the places. I highly recommend this tour of Jaipur, it's not to be missed!
Amazing experience to visit Jaipur and imerse in the local culture. I felt very safe as a female solo traveller and I learnt a lot with the tour guide explaining about the Hawa Mahal history, old gate, Flower Market, vegetable market, Temple and also I drank a tradicional and very delicious Indian Rajasthan Chai. This was an unforgetable experience I had in Jaipur and I recommend to all.
I had an incredible experience discovering the richness of the Jaipur flower market, lots of colours, smells and cute sellers giving me flower necklaces. It was a different and fun morning. The guide was attentive and had many stories and interesting facts about this market. It is an unmissable tour!
Having a walk through the flowers market is a good plan! You start the tour visiting important monuments and learning about Jaipur! And when finally you arrive to the market is amazing! You see a traditional market, with people buying and sending millions of flowers. The scene is for doing a painting, what beautiful colors!
The tour in the market has been fantastic. Enjoying the perfumes and colors of the flowers, has been really beautiful: a moment of peace in the busy India. We have seen flowers of all colors, but seeing the lotus flower has been amazing! On the way to the market, you also can see different monuments and enjoy the guide's explanation while you walk is a good way to learn everything you need to know about India and his culture! Thanks for this :) :)
Visiting the flower market and temple was a wonderful experience! Exploring the local culture through these sights was a delightful way to immerse myself in the beauty and spirituality of India. Our guide, Sunny shared local and authentic stories of Jaipur, adding depth to the journey
We had an amazing time with Sunny. It was the perfect way to have a glimpse of local daily life, the flower market is impressive, colorful and full of life. We loved to hear the unique stories of Sunny, very insightful and unique.
Amazing experience!! Would highly recommended it if you want to see a different part of the city usually visited by locals. The flower market visit is a must and the tour guide explains everything amazingly.
Madan was great more like a local friend than a tour guide. My favorite part of the experience was when Madan got us welcome flowers and gave us flowers to shower my friend with for her birthday as a celebration. He was very patient with us when we wanted to make stops and do things outside of the tour. He made the experience very personable
I decided to do this tour on my birthday while visiting Jaipur India. That was probably the best thing I could’ve decided to do because our tour guide Madan really took the time out to make my birthday extra special. He purchased flower petals and gave me a flower shower and I had the opportunity to record a really cute video. The tour is very informative and so beautiful. Without the tour, there was no way that I would be able to experience going to the Hindu temple, the flower and the vegetable market. Being able to see every day life and culture is exactly what I like to do when traveling. Madan was excellent and after our tour ended he was even kind enough to take the time to show us around to other places that we had on our list to see and even help us navigate when purchasing souvenirs so that the vendors would not take advantage of us. I highly recommend him and his tour! just go ahead and book it.!
I was accompanied by Ballu who showed me around the market area, as I wanted to take a lot of photos we arranged a meeting area and met after 15 minutes of me exploring by myself. It was so interesting seeing the farmers and their wives carrying massive bags of flowers and produce to their respective areas and setting up for trade. Seeing the colours of the flowers and vegetables against the morning sunrise was a beautiful sight and I'm glad I got to experience this hidden gem during my visit to Jaipur.
A must see opportunity to see the local flowers at the market is indeed a hidden gem in Jaipur. Along with a great guide, I was mesmerised by the colours and variety on show. What a great way to delve into Rajasthan’s culture and cuisine by immersing yourself in the fruits and vegetables on display. A true photographer’s delight awaits you if you go on this tour. One tip: be early as this is certainly not one to be missed.
I took this tour with Madan who was very knowledgeable and charismatic. The flower and vegetable market was different from any I have ever seen and I was able to interact with the local people who were very friendly. The tour was very flexible and Madan is also an excellent photographer. Highly recommend if you want to see parts of Jaipur other tourists don't see!
Took this tour yesterday and was fabulous. Visited a fresh flower and vegetable market to see the daily activities. Heaps of flowers and was great to see day to day life. Monty and his driver were fabulous and a wealth of information. Also did another tour of there’s which was also great.
Fantastic to walk in Jaipur without feeling unsafe as a woman, thanks to the guide we had. The tour started at the famous hawa mahal (palace of winds), where the guide (Harshit) told us about the work and we got to take some nice pictures. Then we continued on to ”Flower market” on the way I also had to feed pigeons. At the flower market we got to see beautiful flowers and hear some facts about them. Honestly, it is very refreshing with the walk and the sight of these beautiful flowers. The tour ended with an authentic masala chai. Always have a guide when you go to “flower market” because they are significantly different from European countries and having someone from locals makes it very easy. I highly recommend this tour for a good guide and a pleasant and safe experience.
This tour is amazing as the Guide tells you the reason for this market, how they use flowers for rituals, and you can walk in its colorful streets living the magic of India. It was much better than I expected, I had a very nice time, the Guide always offered to take pictures of me as I was traveling alone, and I was also able to do Shopping. The history of this market is impressive, it was definitely worth waking up early!
We really liked the tour! It was very cool to be able to follow a daily activity of many Indians and learn more about the process and the way behind so many rich and tasty dishes. We saw different varieties of fruits and vegetables that we don’t have in Brazil. Our guide, Sunny, was explaining how the vegetables are commonly eaten and prepared and helping us buy the ones we were curious to taste. The part of the flowers inspired our senses even more. It is possible to smell the fresh flowers along the way and it is very beautiful to see all the colors and varieties besides the collars that are made on site too. Sunny, our guide, explained the process of buying and selling the vegetables and flowers, how and when each is used, talked about the culture and the seasons and explaining details that enriched the tour a lot. We recommend it if you like to know and try new things, if you like flowers and fresh things or simply want to make a delicious and different tour! It's worth it!
It is beautiful to see vendors offering, women walking past with giant bags on their heads, walking around dodging motorcycles and carts with products. This tour is to truly delve into the culture of the Indian people and there is no better way to live it than with a local guide. THANK YOU BALLU FOR EVERYTHING, YOU WERE AN EXCELLENT GUIDE!
What an amazing experience! We were picked up by our guide Balu at 7am to head to the flower market. This is a local wholesale market that we would not have known without him. When you arrive, you are immediately lulled by Indian life and culture. The colors are absolutely beautiful and in addition to flowers we visited the fruit and vegetable market. I can only recommend the experience!!!
